What is it?
Obtained from the red alga Palmaria palmata, WHITONYL® inhibits the melano-genesis by acting at the heart of the melanocyte while limiting the impact of its environment (epigenetics, intercellular communication via exosomes). WHITONYL® efficiently controls the photoinduced pigmentation: the skin is uniform, the complexion is luminous and the pigment spots are attenuated. WHITONYL® is the favorite lightening and depigmenting care for Caucasian and Asian skin.
